Change for Life!

Posted on by Emily Morris

Our parishes are once again participating in the Change for Life campaign – Aiding the Lifeline Coalition to continue their important work for new mothers and the unborn.

Take a baby bottle from the back of church this weekend, fill it with change, cash or check and return it to our parish by February 15th.

Your aid directly provides relief to those in our community who need it most, while striving to provide and cultivate the right to life.

Thank you for your support!

All Souls Day List of Loved Ones

Posted on by Emily Morris

The Feast of All Souls Day is Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.

Sunday Masses will be held at 8:00am at St. Mary, 10:00am at St. Joseph, and 12:15pm at St. Mary (en español).

Vigil lights will be lit for all of these Mass times on November 2nd.

Families may purchase a vigil light in memory of family and friends whom you would like us as a parish to remember in our prayers, no matter when they died. The parish will provide a vigil light for all parishioners who have died in the past year. The vigil lights will be placed in the Sanctuary in an arrangement to lift all our prayers to heaven. It is a beautiful way to commemorate All Souls with the lights of all who guide us home through their own actions when they lived here with us as family and friends.

Below is the list of names for whom these vigil candles are offered for 2025
